Kev Moore Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Not sure if this thread has been followed but I'm intersted in which backing tracks have been used the most. Like Bari Track and Rose Battiste or Dime on D-9 and Bobby is my baby. I've a sneaky feeling it's propably a motown track but I wouldn't be able to say off the top of my head. What do you think?
Guest sadsam Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I would say MOONLIGHT MUSIC & YOU backing
Kev Moore Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 I would say MOONLIGHT MUSIC & YOU backing How many times has the backing track been used? Would you know? I'm thinking of actual backing tracks rather than versions of songs otherwise we'd prob be talking about My Way. i used to think a lot of the Detroit backing tracks were the same and I know a lot are but only when I really started to listen I realized it was more the Detroit sound i.e. Solit Hit productions or the Thelma crew etc.....

grant Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 double cookin - del satins and that other version of late
Prophonics 2029 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) I Have Faith In You is a good one or three. Move No Mountain The Trips Four Voices and Chuck Holiday is very very similar backing except for some bass horns on the Chuck record. Edited October 14, 2008 by Prophonics 2029

Cody Michaels / Liza Mae ( x 2 ? ) / Jan Snow / Michael Christian - might be others - there was a few threads about this a while back - Definately 4 uses of this track, and 5 if there was another Liza Mae apart from "Juicy Mouth" Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk
Davetay Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I would say MOONLIGHT MUSIC & YOU backing Laura Greene Frankie & Classicals Honey Townend Subway Riders Mark Johnson and at least one more i can,t think of at the moment.
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Somebody (Somewhere) Needs You - Ike & Tina Somebody (Somewhere) Needs You - Herb & Doris Go For Yourself - Larry Laster Lighten Up - Ty Karim Lighten Up - Larry Atkins ...and possibly some others I can't recall offhand (but not Darrell Banks, obviously...)
Mick Holdsworth Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Laura Greene Frankie & Classicals Honey Townend Subway Riders Mark Johnson and at least one more i can,t think of at the moment. Essex Burning Emotions
Kev Moore Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Essex Burning Emotions Looks like Moonlight music and you is out there at the moment. Knew about the Frankie and the classicals link but not the others. What about Motown backing tracks? Which have been used most? Never heard the Herb & Doris. Label? I'm only picking brains here
Kev Moore Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 double cookin - del satins and that other version of late Would that be the Magicians vocal Adey put out on 6T's Anniversary single a few years ago?
Kev Moore Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 3 or 4 Kev I its the same backing track Moonlight -What Should I Do. Thelma has a few like this. Which are the Thelma tracks? I know they were a tight knit group that formed part of The Snake pit team eventually. Love their sound wish I had more Thelma stuff.

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Never heard the Herb & Doris. Label? It's on Hip - not the Stax label. Here's a scan: Used to be a cheapie (well, it was in 1982 when i bought it, but Bernie Williams was a relative cheapie back then, too!). Dunno what it sells for now...
